Had an unexpected sidebar to my time in London when the opportunity arose to attend a football game. The friends I'm staying with in Holloway had access to a spare season ticket for Arsenal. The game, in the spectacular Emirates Stadium just 5 minutes walk from their house, was against Stoke.It turned out to be a festival outing, with Arsenal winning 4-1 in gorgeous sunny weather. A great experience to hear 60,000 footy fans in full voice. The Brits do take it all very seriously.
Later on it was dinner sitting outside around a fire pit, in the mild evening. Having food and wine with good friends - it doesn't get much better than that.
Today is a bank holiday Monday over here, so no chance for meetings. Tomorrow it's Rawiri Paratene at lunchtime, and then Gillies Mackinnon in the evening - looking forward to it.

Any chance to catch Rawiri in Romeo and Juliet? Purely for business purposes, of course!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately not! The show's not on this week because it's half term break, so bad planning on my part... I had been hoping to catch it.
